Explanation and Etymology - (一時) ichiji
The term 「一時」 (ichiji) is a Japanese noun that can be literally translated as "a moment" or "a short period of time". The word is composed of two kanji characters: 「一」, which means "one" or "single", and 「時」, which represents "time" or "hour". This combination conveys the idea of a singular time or a specific instant.
In the Japanese language, 一時 can be used in different ways, depending on the context. It can indicate a specific moment, such as "one hour" (referring to time on the clock), or suggest something temporary, like "provisional" or "interim." For example, the expression 一時的 (ichijiteki) is used to describe something that is temporary or short-lived. Additionally, in emergency situations, 一時避難 (ichiji hinan) refers to "temporary evacuation."
Etimologically, 一時 traces back to the classical use of these characters, having been employed for centuries in Japanese literature and historical records. The original meaning emphasized ephemerality or the swift passage of time, a concept that remains relevant in its modern application. The word can convey both a literal and a more figurative sense, especially in speeches or texts that focus on the transience of life or events.
